A WOUND IN TIME: May 2012

ABOUT...

A Summer in 1993 in Spanish Harlem finally reveals the secret past of Cuban-American cardiac nurse Negra Centron. A childhood secret torments the life and stifles the growth of a beautiful woman. The ancient religion of the Yoruba people of Nigeria, known as Regla de Ocha and Santeria in the Diaspora, is the engine behind this supernatural mystery thriller. This African-evolved religion, with its magic, is the backdrop for this tale of love, hate, deceit, betrayal, obsession, forgiveness, acceptance, and hope. Magic, ritual, and destiny are the threads unraveling this gripping, edgy, mystery/thriller.

Pressured by a suspicious mother, a strange bed-fellow, and an amorous co-worker, Negra battles to keep a childhood secret from unraveling while a restless spirit and the African gods seek justice...

BROADWAY BARTENDING DAYS AT "CATS" AND "FOSSE" AND MEETING DONNA SUMMER

Ben Vereen and moi at a wonderful Spa Party he gave for the cast and FOH staff of "Fosse".

It was while bartending at The Broadhurst Theatre at "Fosse" that I met Donna Summer. During the 1970's everyone used to tell me that I looked like the great Disco Queen. In 2001 Donna came to see Ben Vereen (they both appeared in the film "Hair") perform in the production and decided to stop by the bar to chat with me. I guess she thought I resembled her too. She had the most powerful voice, which I witnessed at an outdoor concert at Boston Harbor. She almost blew us out of our seats many rows away. RIP

Before working at The Broadhurst I worked at the Winter Garden and closed, at the time, the longest running show on Broadway "Cats"! That's a pic of me and the "Cats" bartender crew...

THE NEW "A WOUND IN TIME" WILL NOW BE PRESENTED UNDER THE FISCAL SPONSORSHIP OF FRACTURED ATLAS

Happy to announce that mega Arts organization Fractured Atlas has accepted my request for fiscal sponsorship for all projects under my production company Wilson Exclusive Talent Productions. All forthcoming projects will now have the benefit that fiscal sponsorship offers so that I can continue my work creating projects which tackle social issues and to help bring theatre to the masses. Thank you Fractured Atlas!

JOIN IN AND HELP MAKE IT HAPPEN!

This film will get done relying on my grind for pennies, and a little help from my friends. But it may take longer than necessary since shoot days will only happen when funds are available. In other words, instead of having only 2 shoot days a month, we can have 10. That makes a big difference in how soon we get the film on the big screen. So, if more could contribute to the pot this film can wrap a lot sooner! You get a tax deduction by donating through my non profit fiscal sponsor, plus your name in the film credits when you give $25 or more! Lets get this unique and powerful story out there together, and put the artistry back into Indie films. Thanks!
